To Ammi From Uganda

[Withano]

Completely forgot how to upload pictures to peoples wall so I have to do it here instead. Sorrehhh.
About 4 months ago, Ammi sent me a huge box of things to give out to the class I teach in Uganda, including a **** load of arts & crafts stuff, finger puppets (which I didnt give to my class, I though it would be more fun to give one puppet to everyone in the school) and a load of musical instruments too (I have a brilliant video of a load of kids playing their harmonicas all at the same time, its beautifully musical, I'll try to upload a Youtube video in some time soon). The internet connection has been unbearable so far so I haven't been able to share these photos sooner. I'll try to add to these photos every time I get a strongish connection and I would obviously love to send the photos and all the handmade letters of gratitude from the kids straight to your door too if you like, as soon as I make it back to the UK.

Sorry its taken me so long! I'm not much of a photographer, obviously. I have some pretty cool videos of them with their harmonicas and them all flying their planes at the same time which I will try to upload before I leave the country again! They really did appreciate your gifts more than I can comprehend but the letters they've written you may give you a better idea, I can either try to take pictures of them to upload or I can send you them in the post if ya PM me your address. Thanks for making the last 2 months so much better, Ammi, you frigging legend!

[Withano]

Theres a couple more I'd need to show you Ammi, I can only upload 5 at a time on this though, I'll get round to it promiseeee!

..aww, your children look beautiful, Withano..:lovedup:....but the girl on the right with her arms folded, she looks quite serious though, like she's determined not to smile or doesn't like the camera....

..oh wow at the scenery one, is that the view from where you're living..?..what movie are you all watching on the screen..?...


..I'm stealing that view for the scenery thread btw...

[Marsh.]

Gorgeous pics. Do you have anymore scenery pictures? :amazed:

[Jessica.]

Aww is that Lion King? :amazed: What is that stuff they were eating while watching it?

Haha, that wasn't my class, another British person was teaching the year below, don't think a lot of them are used to the concept of smiling in photographs! Got them all to watch Lion King & Frozen

Gorgeous pics. Do you have anymore scenery pictures? :amazed:

Yeah, loads! The first one is Kampala, the capital city, its a lot more built up than the place I was staying

Aww is that Lion King? :amazed: What is that stuff they were eating while watching it?

Jackfruit, its so good. **** knows how they grow on trees, they're like the size of fat toddlers.

[Marsh.]

Looks amazing.

[JTM45]

Amazing stuff guys!!!!:clap1:
It's really inspirational to see people doing stuff like this to help kids who really appreciate every little bit of help they get so much!:thumbs:

I lived in South Africa for just over 4 years when i was a kid (came back to Wales when i was 8) and it was the best 4 years of my life so far. If i'd have had my way i'd never have left Africa but my parents found it difficult to stay there while apartheid was still at it's height and they also missed family back here.
I'd really love to go back to Africa someday to live and work either with kids or adults in need (which sadly there are so many of in Africa with the massive Aids epidemic that they've suffered!) and i'd also love to work with one of the endangered species charities protecting rhino or big cats or something like that.

Keep up the amazing work your doing man!!!!:wink:
